Pesto

It’s been a magical food find week. A jar of garlic puree, a jar of basil puree, tri-color swirl-shaped pasta and fresh spinach! I’m sure you know what that equals!Pesto!!Pesto is usually wrought with cheese, and chopping up your own basil can get expensive (depending where you live I guess). So the jar of pureed basil from Peru was a little investment, but well worth the money.

EASY PESTOSautee minced garlic (or a small spoonful of garlic paste/puree)Add a spoonful of basil(I also added a spoonful of left over cheez sauce)-optAdd cooked pasta (drained and rinsed in cold water- to stop cooking) Mix until coated and warm, add fresh spinach and toss.You got yourself a quick delicious meal buddy!

Ok I swear this was more green than brown like the picture. At any rate, superb!(I saved the tricolor pasta from my lunch the next day ^_^)
